Starting now, we have shifted into a fundamentally new age, the age of the customer. The companies who will succeed, dominate, and own the market for the next several decades will be those who truly learn how to understand their customers and engage in meaningful ways.

Like it or not, you are competing with Starbucks, Lulu Lemon and Apple. We have seen a handful of leaders who are setting new standards and when your customers interact with Apple or Disney, these companies are resetting your customersâ€™ expectations for the type of experiences that they think they deserve and that they are entitled to have with your company. And if they donâ€™t get what they expect, you will hear about it in very public ways. Customers today have more power than ever and in homebuilding, most businesses are localized and do not extend borders. What that means is, no matter how successful your company has been, if your customers are not receiving what you promised them, your brand may not survive the market you are in.

For New Home Builders and Renovators

The voice of your customer is more powerful than ever before. High performing companies understand the importance of providing unique and innovative strategies to stay close to their customers. The H.O.M.E. Certification Program is a third party endorsement which highlights those builders and renovators who understand their customers are the core of their business. With the H.O.M.E. Certification, your company will be recognized as one who has adopted a customer centric approach.

How can you participate in the H.O.M.E. Certification?

This is unlike any other industry or peer program. The process for determining H.O.M.E. Certified Builders and award winners is transparent to all and you can monitor your progress throughout the year.

Throughout the year, CustomerInsightTM tabulates two customer reviews, (30-day post possession and 13-month post-possession), and provides real-time, online access to homebuilding/renovation staff. Each company is evaluated based on customer satisfaction of product, service, and process. Response rates and total number of surveys received will be evaluated to ensure statistical validity by a CustomerInsightTM statistician and research analyst.

Participating homebuilding/renovation companies and their trade partners are committed to the following program requirements:

*CustomerInsightTM will administer 2 performance reviews of all customers at 30 days post possession and 13 months post-possession for a full year. Results to be posted real-time on H.O.M.E. Website

**Transparent customer feedback and comments populate the H.O.M.E. Website.H.O.M.E. logo and link to appear on Buildersâ€™website.

*Required programs at the expense of participating builder.
